Welcome to the Apply4Homes House Exchange website. This website has been designed to bring tenants together who live in Aberdeenshire and Moray who are looking to swap their home. You can also search for tenants who live in other parts of the UK if you are considering moving from the area.
If you are interested in finding another tenant to swap your home with, please register with this site by clicking on the 'register' button which can be found on the left hand menu. It is easy to register and best of all it's free if you are a tenant of one of the partners.
Please note that you will need to be a Scottish Secure Tenant of one of the Apply4Homes partners before you can register with us. To find out if you are a Tenant of one of the partners CLICK HERE
If you are not a tenant of one of the partners please go to www.houseexchange.org.uk for further information about how you can apply.
When you register you will need to provide:
• Your contact details
• Details of your current property
• A photo of your current property (if possible)
• Details of the property you are looking for
Once you have applied to register your application will need to be approved by your local housing office. When approved we will send you a confirnation e-mail detailing your ID number and password.
If you do not have an e-mail address a letter will be sent to you detailing your ID number and password.
Once approved your property will appear on our database and you will be able to run searches to find someone suitable to swap with.
If you are succesful in finding someone to swap with you and the person you are swapping with will need to complete an application form which can be downloaded here or can be obtained from your local housing office. You will need to complete two copies of the form and send a copy to each Landlord. If one of the Landlords you are swapping with is not one of the Apply4Homes partners you will need to contact them to get an application form and further advice.
We hope you find this service to be of use and wish you every success in finding your new home.
